Audio source randomly defaults to AV at start up and is quite annoying.

VERY ANNOYING !@_#+$*%#@*$+__*&*^$%

only because the stupid popup box comes up saying "USB must be disconnected" for like a half hour before you can switch to a different source! how much of my life is wasted waiting for that dumb box to go away so I can press a different source. Oh and cycling sources with the dash or steering wheel button goes through EVERY preset starting all the way from AM radio, with the Ipod being one of the last sources to cycle through...wtf

The only times I get this is when I've been listening with out the car started and then start the car. A power cycle off/on fixes it.

Usually when I put a full tank of gas, I get 310 miles to E. Now yesterday, filled the car up and it read 270.

Is this a problem?

Not really, it just means your previous mileage was not very good so the computer is predicting that you can't go as far.

The distance to empty seems to be calculated based on a running average of the vehicles mileage for that tank. At the beginning it starts off with the data from the previous tank and starts to adjust down from there until the vehicle is driven more. 310 /12.4 gallons is 25 mpg, 270 is 21.77 mpg. Both are quite low, but if you do a lot of stop and go driving and drive even moderately aggressively that would explain the low figures.

Unless there is also something mechanically wrong with the car.

But the only things that may affect the mileage that severely without making the car drive like crap are things like the tires air pressure.

i do alot of stop and go. I drive mainly residential roads when driving from home to work and back. Probably hit about 10-13 stop signs on the way.

Sounds about right

make that /11 or 11.4 MAX. That last gallon is reserve, and even half of that is vapor. Being the genius I am, I knew my exact mileage and tried to run the car down to the very last drop which coincided with a local gas station....needless to say I was very surprised when it conked out halfway there haha

This isn't new to v3.5.1 (I've seen it in older versions) but it sure seems to have gotten a lot worse...

My backup camera settings will not remain in place. Basically, every time I start the car, it resets the active guides to the 'off' setting.

I was at the dealer this morning and they told me their service manual (latest edition, but I didn't get a version number from them) states that this is normal. Specifically, my invoice reads, "customer states check reverse camera settings reset every time put in reverse - advise normal operation."

Certainly this can't be the case...?

It is happening to me as well, new car. Evidently, it is "normal" but that doesn't mean it is good...

I believe you posted this in another thread as well IIRC. As I replied, the issue seems to be caused by shifting into reverse before MFT has fully booted. Wait until MFT has booted and the setting will stick.
